Well, the worlds greatest social "It's not a race" race series has finished for another year. The final round was held on Thursday 17th March up Skyline Gondola Hill with the infamous "Das Uber D" -the event that started the whole social race movement off in 2008.
The final round also included a fancy dress option, which everyone took part in. There were some great outfits to be seen, most notably Gina in her "Bridezilla" costume! Awesome effort!
The course was the usual affair, taking in all the best bits of the awesome Ben Lomond forest, with a few climbs thrown in the mix. A few of us chose to do an extended version, and use some of the new more recently built trails.
No body really timed this race, it was a purely social occasion marking the end of the summer (almost the end). Some of us did take it a little seriously with a bit of freindly rivalry racing agaisnt each other and pushing each other, but the majority just cruised down in a pack hooping and hollering!
This event just reminded me of why I love living in Queenstown, the people are amazing, the riding is amazing and the scenery is second to none!
